We are the only ones here among some newer houses with S-slats. Everyone else has chosen Z-slats. But I, as the design and cozy manager (a title my husband kindly gave me), have decided on the nicer S-slats, as the Z-slats seem too technical to me.

Today, my husband is very happy because the Z-slats make it too dark for our taste. Our main goal is to achieve privacy and sun protection in the summer. The S-slats are also thick and dark enough for our taste!

But that is certainly a matter of personal preference!

Uff, Corten steel - yes, expensive. We are also considering it, but because of the price, we are going for raw steel, although we don't know how it behaves and whether the rust that forms will stain a lot when you lean on it (I lean on my current raised bed a lot, but that one is also built with bricks). No snails? That would be an argument... Did you have the bed made individually or is there an address where you can get something like that off the shelf? Yes, please pictures!!!

Except in the bedroom and third room, we have an extra slat that keeps the sun outside but reflects the light inside, so it remains bright inside despite the lowered blinds. Is this the S-slat? We saw them "live" and were already impressed by how bright it still remains with them.

I also lean a lot on the bed. It is SOMETHING crumbling, but that doesn't bother me!

It was like with the furniture: I drew how I wanted it, the man designed it, a friend who's into steel built it.

But despite connections, the price is steep, steel prices are actually outrageous. In front of the house we have a planting bed made of Corten, I thought he wanted to ruin us and it's only 40 cm wide for grasses. But once you've digested that...

Oh... Climbee I just read again... You had written raw steel because of the price advantage over Corten!

It was my idea at first too (after two years you probably won’t see a difference with Corten anymore) but we were advised against it because it actually crumbles quite a bit. And then my husband was afraid of staining, and right next to the raised bed and the bench there are light-colored steps, so it was too dangerous for us that they might suddenly have rust stains!

According to the construction description, we are getting a troweled lime plaster. What paint would you recommend here?
